Thanks to all for the script, really appreciate it.

I just install "Mint 17" and really like it. When I shutdown from desktop the screen shifts to terminal black, and then a appx two line message displays so fast I'm unable to read it before the computer shuts down. I have tried the "scrol lock & pause-break keys to no avail. I'm n...

Dave, check out Bindo fix (Dec 26, 2013). It works!

Dave, I have exact same problem. Xsane scans from root but not from user.
Yes. I think it is a permission problem, but have not been able to fix.

When grub boots from my hd into lm14 mate, the desktop comes up fine, but it also opens (executes) a memory stick that I keep in a usb port, which I delete before using my computer. All of my previous Mint distros never did this. I can find no fix in Control Center, startup applications or desktop s...

<SOLVED> How do I stop usb mem stick from opening with desktop?

"CARIBRIZ" solved my problem.

Thank you,

Jesse

I've been using various linux distros for over ten years, and "201204 cinnamon" without a doubt is the best of the best PC operating systems.
Thanks to everyone at Mint.

Tolan, thanks for the information. I will give it a try

Tacit: What was your method for speed comparison figures between Ubuntu 11 & LMDE? I expressed my opinion concerning the naming of LMDE. "Mint" is a derivative of Ubuntu,and known world-wide to be the most user-friendly Linux OS, which LMDE is not TODAY.

It is doing "Mint" dis-service by using it's name in front of 201109 Debian destro. Over years, Mint has earned a glowing reputation, as a ready to use-out of the box, user-friendly operating system. Using the "Mint" logo to promote your Debian derivative is mis-leading. Respectf...

Eimacus: Using Synaptic, I removed all Nouveau driver & Library. I installed:Xserver-xorg-video-nvida. Same result as with other methods; No graphics, blanks screen with pulsating hyphon, and not able to bring up a terminal. I reinstalled LMDE gnome-64, using default Nouveau graphic driver. With...

I have just done another install. And will try and follow the procedure.

I appreciate you help.

I did it on my own, I'm sorry to say.

Rhodry; I'm writing this from a 201109 live disk. My 201109 64 that has the video problems is still on my parittion 5. What I did was to use synaptic to install "xserver-xorg-videoi-nvidia 275.09.07-5" which is a binary. Now when I boot and select; Mint Debian 201109 64 it boots into a bla...

Thank you . I will check it out.

The default 201109 NVIDIA "neo" driver is too slow when using Googleearth. I have tried quite a few times to install the NVIDIA 280.13 driver, which only gives me a blank screen with a pulsating hyphen at top of screen. No terminal. Other than that 201109-64 is a wonderful OS, which I'm us...

I have had to re-install 201109 Gnome 64bit three times after attemptng to install NVIDIA driver for my GTX-260. After installing driver and rebooting all I get is a blank screen with a pulsating hypen in the upper left hand corner. I'm unable to use the terminal, so I do a re-install. I have been u...

Thanks everyone. I'm embarassed. F11 did the trick. I tried Ctrl+Alt+F1 thru F12, but never F11 alone. My brain is fried.

Re: Mint9 Gnome amd64, After doing an update I have lost my bottom panel when using Firefox. In order to get to my Gnome desktop I need to do a: Ctrl+Shift+W. I'm not sure if Firefox is changing my monitor resolution, or if there is a bug, or a stupid operator! I prefer not to re-install Mint. Any h...
